Recent Santa Cruz County Reviews

Scott's guest house offered us a wonderful retreat from the hustle and bustle of day to day city life. Both Steve and Marie were extremely hospitable and took care of all our needs. The place is perfectly located- it feels as if you are in the middle of the woods and yet, one is very close to the freeway and not more than a 10 min drive from Santa Cruz downtown. The living room has large glass windows and it was such a joy to wake up every morning and experience the forest outside right from my bed. The place is well furnished and interior decor is nicely done (and not overdone) with lot of attention to detail. The close proximity to hummingbirds, thanks to the numerous hummingbird feeders and a jacuzzi in the back yard really added to my over all experience of the place. The kitchen is small yet extremely functional. The bed room and the living room are not separated by a wall- not that this is a problem, but just something to keep in mind for those who like to sleep in separate rooms because of privacy, noise issues etc. Overall , we had a wonderful experience and hope to go back again. Highly recommended.

We fished, we surfed, we had cigars in the sand, we walked to dinner. We sat on the patio and watched all the good looking humans go by to the tune of the sea. The small kitchen allowed me to prepare a thanksgiving feast and when mom stopped by from Sacramento she loved her little sun porch room and was very cozy. The Tv had all the games on a good channel selection. The hot water rocks. Eight nights and we didn't want to leave!

This Xmas was a very special one for me and my girls. We are overcoming major life changes and found the house to feel like home. But not just any home...one where we could heal as a family and laugh and cook and celebrate Xmas in a new way. We enjoyed this wonderful rental and it will be my home away from home when I travel to see my daughters in the future. Katrina was quick to help when we needed it too. The neighborhood is great and we enjoyed many cups of Verve coffee and sunset rides by the beach. If you love Santa Cruz life, this is your spot.
